Web Accelerators

A web accelerator is a software that speeds up a website, typically by caching its content. There are different types of accelerators, but in the common case such applications cache static content or database responses and provide them in lieu of the hosting server, thus boosting the performance of a site greatly. The latter is possible because accelerator programs work faster than a web server and not only will a site function better, but the server load will also minimize, which will permit you to run heavy websites with less resources. We offer 3 web accelerators with our hosting plans, which will permit you to increase the speed of any sort of website. In comparison, most website hosting firms do not provide any web accelerators or provide one, which limits your choice of web applications in the event that you would like to employ this type of software.

We offer 3 of the most well-known web accelerators together with our shared website hosting solutions and depending on what plan you will select when you sign up, they may already be available or they may be an optional upgrade. Varnish is the most popular one of them and it may be used for any sort of Internet site. It caches the web pages the first time a visitor opens them and delivers them at a much faster speed compared to the hosting server each and every time that a website visitor opens them again. Memcached is used to cache API and database calls, so it can boost the speed of dynamic sites including online stores, community forums or social networks. Node.js is employed for scalable web apps and it operates in real-time, which makes it excellent for server-side data processing - chats, browser games, booking portals, etc. You'll be able to select how much memory these accelerators shall employ and how many instances of each and every one will run from your Hepsia web hosting CP.

In case you go for one of our semi-dedicated hosting solutions, you will be able to take advantage of Varnish, Memcached and Node.js - 3 powerful web accelerators. Varnish is a multi-purpose program that caches web pages the first time a website visitor opens them and delivers them instead of the hosting server if the guest opens them again close to 300% faster. Memcached caches API and database calls and responses so the web server doesn't have to process each and every request, which makes it perfect for database-driven websites, for example ones designed with Joomla™ or WordPress. Node.js is employed to build web applications which function in real-time such as chats or accommodation booking sites and it processes each bit of info the moment the user types it instead of waiting for sizeable chunks of info to be accumulated. The Hepsia Control Panel which is provided with our semi-dedicated solutions will permit you to choose how many instances of every accelerator will work at a time and what amount of memory they'll use.

All virtual private servers which are set up with the Hepsia Control Panel come with Varnish, Memcached and Node.js already included and you'll get several hundred MBs of dedicated memory for them by default. Varnish, which is also often called an HTTP reverse proxy, caches webpages the first time a visitor opens them and provides them in case that guest opens them again, hence the hosting server won't have to perform any action. Because Varnish functions faster than any server, a website employing this accelerator shall operate several times swifter. Memcached is a platform that caches database calls and responses and it's used for WordPress, Joomla™ and other script-driven programs that store their content within a database. Node.js is an efficient platform for creating scalable web apps. Any info on a website which employs Node.js is processed instantly, which makes it a great choice for dining and accommodation booking websites, web-based chats, browser games, etcetera.

Memcached, Node.js and Varnish are provided by default with all our dedicated servers which are ordered with Hepsia as the hosting CP. These three web accelerators feature several gigabytes of dedicated memory and you can employ them to speed up any sort of Internet site. Memcached can drastically minimize the load on the web server if you have script-driven sites because it caches database responses, therefore it minimizes the number of database queries which the hosting server has to take care of. Node.js shall permit you to develop scalable programs with real-time user-server interaction such as chats or dining booking Internet sites. Its advantage over comparable platforms is that it processes information the moment the end user enters it, so all the data is handled quicker and in small pieces. Varnish caches entire Internet pages the first time a website visitor opens them and provides them every time the same visitor opens them again, which makes it a universal accelerator for any sort of Internet sites. Because it functions faster than any server, it could speed up an Internet site at least several times and as a result, Varnish is among the most popular web accelerators on the market.
